General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

For those keeping track, they were elected with 5 MPs, dropped one due to bullying allegations / Farage feeling threatened (take your pick), gained one in a by-election by literally half a dozen votes, and now they’ve lost another due looks like COVID loan fraud.

This is what a party full of unserious people looks like.

Meanwhile the press is pandering to them and calling them a serious contender for government

Yes, but Reform preaches Christian forgiveness for spousal abuse.
